This maybe isn't new speculation given Mike Shanahan has been in the news for awhile now on his hunt for a new job, but I thought this deserved a thread here to watch how this develops.

Kyle Shanahan gets a lot of grief from fans (not quite all of it deserved imo), but how Kubiak fills the OC role should Kyle leaves will be interesting. Will Kubiak resume playcalling duties? Or will he turn it over to someone else, and if so, how will that impact what has become one of the best offenses in the league?

Yeah, the writing is on the wall for Baby Shan to depart. This will be his last shot to work with his pops, and I just don't see him passing that up. I think he has been pretty vocal about wanting that opportunity. I say good for him. We will be fine. Baby Shan learned under Kubiak, and Kubiak maintained control throughout this year and last. I would imagine that it will be the same next year as well. Kubes will probably handle more than he needs to in the beginning, then hand it off after trust is earned.

Remember, last year vs the Bears, noone knew until the post game presser that Baby Shan even ran the offense......
